Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The essential oil yield of Allophylus edulis leaves ranged between 0.07% and 0.6% (wet weight) across all samples.
- Association Essential oil yield of A. edulis leaves increased considerably with higher temperature and during the inflorescence stage.
- Observation In essential oil of A. edulis leaves from Dourados, the major components were alpha-pinene, caryophyllene oxide and viridiflorol, with yields of 3.04-29.81% across the four seasons.
- Observation In the Dourados oil samples caryophyllene oxide was the most abundant component, at 20.1-29.81%.
- Observation In Bonito oil samples the concentration of alpha-zingiberene was highest in summer, at 46.90%.
- Observation In Bonito oil samples the concentration of alpha-zingiberene was also high in spring, at 45.05%.
- Observation Essential oil profiles of the two cities were similar, sharing four sesquiterpene compounds: caryophyllene oxide, germacrene D, E-caryophyllene and viridiflorol.
- Association The authors conclude that both seasonal and geographical variation can influence the chemical composition of essential oil from A. edulis.
